What Causes Ischemic Stroke?

An ischemic stroke occurs when a blood vessel supplying the brain becomes blocked. Without oxygen, brain cells begin dying within minutes, making this one of the most dangerous medical emergencies. If anything feels suddenly weak, numb, blurry, or difficult to speak, don’t wait — your brain depends on quick action.

Ischemic strokes strike suddenly. If you notice any of these symptoms — even if they come and go — get emergency help:

• Sudden weakness or numbness on one side of the face, arm, or leg

• Trouble speaking or understanding words

• Sudden vision loss or blurriness

• Dizziness, imbalance, or sudden trouble walking

• Intense, sudden headache with no known cause

These symptoms are your body’s alarm system — don’t ignore them.

Even brief symptoms can represent a TIA (mini-stroke), which is often the final warning before a major stroke. A fast evaluation can prevent lifelong disability.

If you have any of these, an early neurology consultation truly matters.
